Who are these pompous clods? Hardees knows EXACTLY what they're doing. This babe makes me wanna eat her AND the burger. LOL

The fearless flyer comes out several times a year but joes has started in the last few years releasing mini flyers at various points throughout the year such as at the start of spring and highlighting offerings during Thanksgiving and December holiday time.

It better be free too.

1. I thought beeturia (is that a word?) happened to everybody. It certainly happens to me. It's not that, but the price of beets that restricts my consumption. We're planting lots of beets in our garden this year, the first garden I've had since my now grown son was a baby.
2. I don't think my grandma ever smelled like a sweet, earthy, fragrant beet.
3. I agree that beets taste like dirt. Only sweeter. This is not a problem.
4. Does the President like coleslaw? Carrots? A nice vinaigrette with some dill in it? He ought to try this Beet and Red Cabbage Slaw: http://bit.ly/umafb. Just one bite, Mr. President, and then I'll take it off your hands.

The man isn't allowed to have preferences?

Get a grip on your beats. I love beats but there is enought good veggies to not like one. Everyone should be able to not like something, without others getting their kale in a bunch.

Prepare to be served! I'm crying.

Most of you are too young to remember a similar broccoli furor that erupted when the first Pres. Bush admitted to hating that vegetable (Chou Peng excepted.) There must have been thousands of broccoli jokes after that (and some hurt feelings from broccoli growers.) At the very least, this garden should diffuse all the "arugula" criticism Obama got during the campaign. (Of course, no one at Serious Eats would find arugula elitist! But parts of the country did.)

Yay for the Presidential veggie garden. Beets make me gag - @cooklocal may be right, maybe its a genetic thing. But there's plenty of other good stuff to plant in DC, and don't forget the fresh local goodies at the Eastern Market and elsewhere.

There was a really hilarious episode of The West Wing when the president's aide told a cook not to make beans, because the president hated beans, and it caused a HUGE debacle with bean farmers and bean advocates. The episode concluded with one of the advisers essentially saying "Isn't it ok for the president not to like beans, and won't people understand that just because he doesn't like beans doesn't mean that he dislikes beans as a vegetable? Aren't the American people smart enough to realize that not everybody loves every food, and move on?"

This is exactly like that episode.

This was my favorite book growing up! I'm so excited!

Agreed with DanielJ and AuntJone - one of the best things about the book is the illustration. The picture of the pancake on top of the school is my favorite page and the computer animation really doesn't do it justice. I'm disappointed - I love this book!

You've made my day! This was my absolute favorite book as a child. My little sister and I checked it out from the local library every time. It will be great to see as a movie!
